I have never had a problem with weight, until now. This past year, I went through a rapid weight gain; unfortunately, it has made it a lot more difficult to find clothes that fit properly.

So what was my solution? I would love to lose weight, but even with a healthy diet and regular exercise, it takes time. In the meantime, I have been hiding my flaws with SPANX ®.

Though they are nothing new, SPANX products are a great way to not only slim the body, but also hide those annoying panty lines (which I think is great! – I have never been a fan of thong underwear). Even celebrities are using SPANX to look fabulous on the red carpet!

What is great about SPANX is that they have shape wear that can suit just about anyone. If you cannot afford tummy tuck surgery or liposuction, SPANX products offer you an alternative option to slimming down your trouble areas. More »

Award season can definitely get a bit overdone…‘cause they all seem about the same. You have the pre-show on E! with bad to OK interviews, the presenters who present scripted introductions to the nominees, and acceptance speeches that either make you cry or want to turn the channel. HOWEVER, from the Academy Awards to the Grammy Awards, and the Emmy Awards to the indie Spirit Awards; I’m the first to admit that I watch them all! The fashion choices are always exciting to view (and judge). More »

Valentine’s Day is only a few days away and that means we ladies only have a limited amount of time to get ourselves looking gorgeous (not that we aren’t already). So what’s a girl to do with only a small time frame? Panic! Just kidding…here a few quick tips.

If you were planning on getting your hair done by a pro but forgot to book your appointment, no need to worry. Save a few bucks and do it yourself, or ask a friend to help. For you curly tressed gals, let your spirals flow. Add a few bobby pins to keep them out of your face and you’re all set. Have gorgeous, wavy hair? Add a little mouse, air dry and you’re ready to go! If you have pin straight hair like I do, just run the flat iron through to tame those pesky fly-aways and throw on a cute headband.

Happy Wednesday! We hope you are all having a fabulous day and now bring you this week’s questions.

Hi Elana,

I wanted to add a little spice to my wardrobe. My clothes are mostly black, white, and gray; I think it is just easy and those colors go with everything. Lately, I have been wanting to get experimental with colors, but unfortunately I don’t want to buy an entire new wardrobe. How can I gradually add more colors to my usual black, white, and gray outfits?
